Edit: hehe caught ya before the fix

I actually saw the 3 step Steeljaw at our TRU a few weeks ago and didn't realize it was news until it was front paged.

You ever have a doubt, take a pic and send it in. No one reported it so far.

A week late and $3 short; story of my life.

Cool find though. He actually caught me eye as looking pretty good.

This is usually a great indication that he would be hitting US shelves soon if not already. If you spot him, make sure to report him in your respective toy sightings threads.

Saw those guys in Toronto starting last week. I guess I give so few effs about these ugly things I failed to realize that it might be news.

Thats what happens when you try to do two posts at once (Hotspot and this guy)

I'll give it that, but that's the only thing that is good on that toy.

I can confirm he has hit the states as well. Saw him again at the TRU today. He is a pretty good looking 3 step changer to boot. They also restocked those gigantic 3 step Bees. Good grief that is one massive toy.

Haha, well we also did news it when it happened the first time: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-robots-in-disguise-hyperchange-steeljaw-sighted-at-retail/33072/

I knew I saw that somewhere. I couldn't find it on my phone. Anyways, I thought you were the first confirmed sighting on seibertron. hahaha

Now let's talk about them minicons. I feel an irrational need to own those.

Man me too! And I am dying to know what that secret figure looks like and how it works with the clear extra gear.

I have no clue why I am this excited for this. I like when a collect them all aspect is rewarding like this. I remember the podcast was talking about Hasbro adapting their build a figure model from the Marvel Legends line and this is kind of it in a small way.

And yeah, my sighting was the first at Canadian retail, probably wasn't necessary on second thought since so few care for these 3 steps that you'd imagine the amount of canadians caring would be even smaller.

Dang it, now I have to go find news on that. I missed it the first time.

I butchered your quote for a reason. Across the various threads I'm following; I have the hardest time reading what TF fans care about. It seems like such a split between love and hate with no in between.

I've said it before and I will say it again. If I find something fun and interesting, I will comment on it. If not, I ignore it. Why rain on someone else's parade?

I'm really enjoying the RID15 line. I didn't think so at first, but with each new figure I get, I like it more and more. They are fun, feel good in hand and have a real eye catching color scheme. I just picked up Bee when he was on sale at KMart and I'm really glad I did. Of course, now I've gotten myself in trouble and I want them all.

Here, let me help out:

Featuring single-step transformations, Mini-Cons transform into weapons (buzzsaws for the Autobots and torpedoes for the Decepticons), and can interact with larger figures. They include a number of clear-plastic accessories, packaged on the sprue, which can be pegged into various sockets on their bodies. Some of the figures' accessories can be combined with those from their wavemates to form an "energy animal": a big cat for Wave 1, and a shark for Wave 2.

There is no other info on this and it is driving me bonkers when it really shouldn't. I think it is super cool though.

Also, yes, it is hard to assess what fans want or like. I still dont know what the general opinion on Generations Whirl is since I hear so many different things. I think he is just ok but works surprisingly well as Shockwave.

Also, if we didnt have people raining on others' parade, these would be very quiet boards

I dont know much about this line yet since I am buying the takara versions only, because they are the same price as the Hasbro version now, and they come out a bit later than the Hasbro versions (and are part of another thread). I look forward to experiencing them, they remind me of the Galaxy Force line in terms of their blockyness and vehicle kibble integration.

He is pretty neat. I would recommend him and he shouldn't be too hard to track down at retail. Pretty simple transformation, but fun and capable of some cool poses. His head reveal reminds me of PRID Vehicon.

My first foray into the new Robots In Disguise line, Strongarm!

I liked the previous incarnation of this line/series, that is the Prime cartoon and its mainline toys but the new cartoon doesn't catch me the way Prime did.

From all of the figures I have seen from this new RiD series only Warrior class Strongarm stands out, as a collector of the Classics/Generations, perhaps due to her similar aesthetics?



So with Classics in mind I picked up Strongarm looking to try and repurpose the figure at some point into my collection. I am hoping the head is on a handy ball joint so it can easily be removed or swapped?

Have any of you good folk done the same or considered it?

Does anyone have a photo of Warrior Strongarm alongside other Deluxe Classics/Generations figures?

Grim is lookin more bronze than orange. Nice!
